This is my favorite song by The Fray and it's amazing that there is also an acoustic version. No words can describe how I feel and how much I love this band. They have helped me through all the bad things going on in my life for the past year. I knew this band since I first heard "How To Save A Life" back when my mom watched Grey's Anatomy. I also liked Over My Head and just didn't know it was this band haha. But I will never forget the day I "discovered" this band almost 2 years ago. They have forever changed my life. I don't what I would do if they ever broke up. I really hope I can go the Train concert that's featuring The Fray and Matt Nathanson because it would honestly complete my life. I couldn't go last year and this could possibly be the last time they come to my city for a few years or never again... :(
Urielyadork. This has always been my favorite song from them, and one of my top favorites of all time. I love how the music and story the lyrics tell go hand in hand, as the two characters get closer the tempo and volume of the music gets more urgent.
+Urielyadork. To be honest, I'm in a really similar situation as you! A lot have things have been going on in my life for the past few years, and have resulted in some pretty dark stuff.. When I came across The Fray a few years back, I was like "Ohhh, so these are the guys that sang 'how to save a life'", and to be honest I didn't exactly get hooked to them right away, until I saw that they had released Scars and Stories a few months before.

Their music helped me cope with the mess of what was my life, and as I'm writing this now I find it ironic that their most popular song is titled 'how to save a life', because they surely saved mine... I was blessed enough to be able to see them back in June along wit Train and Matt Nathanson, which also happened to be my first concert :)
I totally understand where you're coming from.. When I was way younger, my brother's used to listen to How To Save A Life, You Found Me, and Over My Head very often. Being that I no choice but to listen, I grew into this type of music. Later, I found How To Save A Life and saw the this band, The Fray, had sung it. As I dug more into their music, I realized that they had also sung You Found Me and Over My Head. That's when I knew I wanted to find more of their music. Well.. I'm here now about 5 years later and I'm might have all their songs/the majority of their songs downloaded and I listen to them almost everyday. I had a really rough 2 years (so far) and The Fray (along with Owl City, my favorite singer) really helped me think positive and stay strong. I don't know where I'd be with The Fray (and Owl City). You're comment gave me so much hope. I also see that you posted this one year ago, so I'm not sure if you went to their concert, but if not, I really hope you can in the future. I understand how much you want(ed) to go to their concert. ;3 I never really considered attending one of their concerts too much, especially that I haven't had the opportunity to yet, but I know that the thought of it is there. I'm a huge fan of Owl City and I have been waiting for the opportunity to go to one of his concert, but it hasn't come yet, so that's how I know how you feel about attending one of The Fray's concerts. I would like to remind you that this comment gave me so much hope, so thank you so, so much!
This song is so powerful. Makes me so emotional. The need for care and love and comfort for those who need it. My take is it’s a story that starts out about a man who falls in love with a broken women who desperately needs love and safety and comfort. Then he goes to war and comforts another wounded soldier. Then he comes home from war with PTSD and desperately needs his own love and comfort. So tragically sad, but so good. God bless this country and the men that fight so selflessly for it.
"Maybe god can be on both sides of the gun; never understood why some of us never get it so good"... The only statement that ever made religion any sort of relatable.
I love how, when he sings, you can tell that that's his natural voice, that's what comes to him naturally when he sings, It's amazing, truly. He's so in his element and in a way it's vulnerable and real, yet so strong and powerful. They say you can't be vulnerable and own a performance....well, I think this proves that wrong for sure. It's captivating....this is this right here is a love and passion for music.
Literally breath-taking, I caught myself gawking at the screen with watery eyes, even after the song had ended. I was taken back by the passion. I could not possibly explain how much I love this band, they're beautiful.
At one moment during this summer I had a stress breakdown at work and I felt like rope was tied around my head tighting up with the time. I tried with the pills but it didnt help. Went on the beach in the middle of the night listening to this song. Not only that I got rid of stress but I never felt more calm in my life after couple repeats.Always been my favourite song but this event just makes it undebateable. Lyrics are other worldy. Thank you The Fray and thank you Isaac for making this so perfect on an unscalable level.
2023. Tonight I’m 25, still listen to this, my only reminder of what it has ever felt like to love someone. I won’t ever again, that much I’m sure of now. Most don’t talk about this, but it’s so hard to die, but still be left on this earth. Simply left behind.
The Fray See you there Don't know where you come from Unaware the stare from someone Don't appear to care that I saw you, and I want you too What's your name? Because I have to know it You let me in and begin to show it We're terrified, because we're heading straight for it, might get it Your favorite song plays on the background All alone but you turn it up now And everyone is rising to meet you, to greet you Turn around and you're walking toward me I'm breaking down and you're breathing slowly Say the word and I will be your man, your man Say when And my own two hands will comfort you Tonight, tonight Say when And my own two arms will carry you Tonight, tonight Come close and even closer We bring it in, but we go no further We separate two ghosts in one mirror, no mirror Later on, if it turns to chaos Hurricanes coming all around us See the crack, pull it back From the window, you stay low Say when And my own two hands will comfort you Tonight, tonight Say when And my own two arms will carry you Tonight, tonight Come across, you're lost and broken You're coming to, you're slow and waking You start to shake Still haven't spoken, what happened? I'm coming back and you just don't know when You want to cry but there's nothing coming They're gonna push until you give in, say when Now we're here and it turns to chaos Hurricanes coming all around us Another crack throws you back from the window You stay low All began with the man of country Another plan sends another century Around again another nation, fallen Any guy can be on both sides of a coin Never understood why Some of us never get a shoulder, shoulder Some of this we kept with us All of us will go out there 'Cause it never stops until we give in, give in To give in, give in Say when And my own two hands will comfort you Tonight, tonight Say when And my own two arms will carry you Tonight, tonight Say when And my own two hands will comfort you Tonight, tonight.
I see you there, don't know where you come from Unaware of a stare from someone Don't appear to care that I saw you, and I want you What's your name? 'Cause I have to know it You let me in and begin to show it We're terrified 'cause we're heading straight for it, might get it You've been the song playing on the background All along, but you're turning up now And everyone is rising to meet you, to greet you Turn around and you're walking toward me I'm breaking down and you're breathing slowly You say the word and I will be your man, your man Say when and my own two hands Will comfort you tonight, tonight Say when and my own two arms Will carry you tonight, tonight We're coming close and then even closer We bring it in, but we go no further We're separate, two ghosts in one mirror, no nearer Later on, if it turns to chaos Hurricane, coming all around us See the crack, pull it back from the window, you stay low Say when and my own two hands Will comfort you tonight, tonight Say when and my own two arms Will carry you tonight, tonight I come across you lost and broken You're coming to, but you're slow in waking You start to shake, you still haven't spoken, what happened?

Yeah as a guy I can agree that is voice is genuine and raw at the same time capturing emotion. Thumbs up if you think people who use auto-tune is actually talented.
I don't think that I can really explain how much I love them. Their music touches me so deep. Isaac has the most beautiful voice ever and it sounds great live
There are no words to describd my love for this special and brilliant song. It speaks right to my heart.❤❤❤i love the fray and issac slade is one of the best and inspirational artists(real artists) out there. He is one of a kind. I really need to see them before i will die. They were there to my happiness and misery and have so much to tell them. Everyone who met them is so lucky❤❤❤
This song covers so many topics it's hard to pinpoint the real meaning of the song. The song starts with really the story of just a boy and a girl, but as you reach the final verses, you see the topic shifts to one that encompasses a lot more. It becomes a statement about war ("another nation, fallen"), religion ("maybe God can be on both sides of the gun"), and much more. This is really one of their deepest songs in my opinion.
My love for this band is indescribable.... I've been listening to them since I was 6 years old. Thank you for coming from Colorado. Please come back and play a show for my 16th birthday!!! :)
The Fray taught me how to move on. Greenday taught me that government's gonna fail Bruno Mars taught me to do anything for that one person I love Eminem taught me that life is hard but you can make it through Travis taught me to be generous 30 Seconds to Mars taught me to speak whats on my mind Michael Jackson taught me to always love the people around me Music taught me to live and then Rebecca Black ruined it all
The lyrics of this song are a masterpiece.
"Say When" and "Vienna" are extremly uderated
There’s really no way to reach me
So true!I
True
My absolute favorites!!!! This one tried to take down Vienna but not quite.
My two favorites! I like the versions of Vienna from both How to Save a Life and from the Reason EP
My favorite song of The Fray, getting chills every damn time hearing this
bump, in case you haven't heard this great song in awhile.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
So pretty
isaac's voice is so perfect.
The song I danced with my husband at our wedding. Love love love. Will always be a favorite
That's my dream! i hope i can do that too ♡
Awh really?! That’s so romantic
@@catavaldes5004 I hope we can do it one day
I might steal this idea with my future wife.. if I ever find one ❤😂😅

This song induces tears like no other.
Have you even heard be still?

"Maybe god can be on both sides of the gun; never understood why some of us never get it so good"...
The only statement that ever made religion any sort of relatable.
I always imagine a young couple falling in love before he is shipped off to war.
the Fray saved my life! at my darkest seconds, I wanted to live because of them
Joe King do you ever feel alone when you try to share them with people and they say it's depressing?
Jasmyn Pseudonymous yup. all the time
Joe King I could write a sitcom surrounded around me listening to the fray into early morning... props for living king
The Fray saved my life too..
I love how, when he sings, you can tell that that's his natural voice, that's what comes to him naturally when he sings, It's amazing, truly. He's so in his element and in a way it's vulnerable and real, yet so strong and powerful. They say you can't be vulnerable and own a performance....well, I think this proves that wrong for sure. It's captivating....this is this right here is a love and passion for music.
The emotion on his face as he sings makes me want to friggin cry... Makes me remember some deep things.. Damn.. Very beautiful.
I knoooooww!
The fray needs to come and make a new album. Go back to their piano roots from their first two albums
This song, this version, will never get old.
This song might be my favorite song of all time. As a writer, I have found that it always holds more energy for me than anything else.
One of the best songs they ever made 🔥🔥🔥
Literally breath-taking, I caught myself gawking at the screen with watery eyes, even after the song had ended. I was taken back by the passion. I could not possibly explain how much I love this band, they're beautiful.
One of the most toughest song to sing in my opinion......and ISAAC SLADE is just beyond AWESOME, SUPERB singer !!!
can't get tired of this
+Maria Bautista Alegria ikr
Say when
Say when
Say when
When the winter wind blows three times as cold as the frozen ice still's life until the bow breaks ❤
Probably the best vocals I've ever heard in my life. I love this song and I want to marry him😘
He's already married but we can all dream 😭😍
I know! I would marry any of them! no matter what age!
La voz de Isaac es perfección, nadie como el :-)
At one moment during this summer I had a stress breakdown at work and I felt like rope was tied around my head tighting up with the time. I tried with the pills but it didnt help.

Thank you The Fray and thank you Isaac for making this so perfect on an unscalable level.
Hands down,one of my favorites they've ever done
His voice is so unique and stunning.
My absolute favorite song
I nearly die every time i listen to this...how can it be so good...
:'(
This song is a straight bop on god 🔥
2020 ❤️❤️ still in love with this song...
2023. Tonight I’m 25, still listen to this, my only reminder of what it has ever felt like to love someone. I won’t ever again, that much I’m sure of now. Most don’t talk about this, but it’s so hard to die, but still be left on this earth. Simply left behind.
I don't get how ANYONE can dislike this! :o
it's so.. so... so.. perfect... i'm more in love
I love his voice
Kind of in love with this...
yea!
NEVER get tired of listening to this, so beautiful
The Fray
See you there
Don't know where you come from
Unaware the stare from someone
Don't appear to care that I saw you, and I want you too
What's your name? Because I have to know it
You let me in and begin to show it
We're terrified, because we're heading straight for it, might get it
Your favorite song plays on the background
All alone but you turn it up now
And everyone is rising to meet you, to greet you
Turn around and you're walking toward me
I'm breaking down and you're breathing slowly
Say the word and I will be your man, your man
Say when
And my own two hands will comfort you
Tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two arms will carry you
Tonight, tonight
Come close and even closer
We bring it in, but we go no further
We separate two ghosts in one mirror, no mirror
Later on, if it turns to chaos
Hurricanes coming all around us
See the crack, pull it back
From the window, you stay low
Say when
And my own two hands will comfort you
Tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two arms will carry you
Tonight, tonight
Come across, you're lost and broken
You're coming to, you're slow and waking
You start to shake
Still haven't spoken, what happened?
I'm coming back and you just don't know when
You want to cry but there's nothing coming
They're gonna push until you give in, say when
Now we're here and it turns to chaos
Hurricanes coming all around us
Another crack throws you back from the window
You stay low
All began with the man of country
Another plan sends another century
Around again another nation, fallen
Any guy can be on both sides of a coin
Never understood why
Some of us never get a shoulder, shoulder
Some of this we kept with us
All of us will go out there
'Cause it never stops until we give in, give in
To give in, give in
Say when
And my own two hands will comfort you
Tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two arms will carry you
Tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two hands will comfort you
Tonight, tonight.
One of the greatest songs I ever heard. Repeat definitely!!!!!
This is the best song of them!
agreed xD
This song overwhelms me every single time I hear it. So beautiful.
This music is so perfect, This band is so perfect...nobody has nothing to say against them!
His voice is incredible
His voice takes my breath away
Love this song! The Fray Rocks!!!
Incredibly beautiful. This song touches my soul.
I see you there, don't know where you come from
Unaware of a stare from someone
Don't appear to care that I saw you, and I want you
What's your name? 'Cause I have to know it
You let me in and begin to show it
We're terrified 'cause we're heading straight for it, might get it
You've been the song playing on the background
All along, but you're turning up now
And everyone is rising to meet you, to greet you
Turn around and you're walking toward me
I'm breaking down and you're breathing slowly
You say the word and I will be your man, your man
Say when and my own two hands
Will comfort you tonight, tonight
Say when and my own two arms
Will carry you tonight, tonight
We're coming close and then even closer
We bring it in, but we go no further
We're separate, two ghosts in one mirror, no nearer
Later on, if it turns to chaos
Hurricane, coming all around us
See the crack, pull it back from the window, you stay low
Say when and my own two hands
Will comfort you tonight, tonight
Say when and my own two arms
Will carry you tonight, tonight
I come across you lost and broken
You're coming to, but you're slow in waking
You start to shake, you still haven't spoken, what happened?
They're coming back, and you just don't know when
You want to cry, but there's nothing coming
They're gonna push until you give in or say when
Now we're here, and it turns to chaos
Hurricane, coming all around us
Double crack throws you back from the window, you stay low
It all began with a man and country
Every plan turns another century
Around again, another nation fallen
Maybe God can be on both sides
Of the gun, never understood why
Some of us never get it so good, so good
Some of this was here before us
All of this will go after us
It never stops until we give in, give in
Say when and my own two hands
Will comfort you tonight, tonight
Say when and my own two arms
Will carry you tonight, tonight
Say when and my own two hands
Will comfort you tonight, tonight
Yeah as a guy I can agree that is voice is genuine and raw at the same time capturing emotion. Thumbs up if you think people who use auto-tune is actually talented.
I love this song so much.
The words, the feelings this song sends
He can definitely sing live, love it! Gorgeous voice
First band thats sounds just as good (AWESOME!) live. I is now officially my favorite band. Hands down.
I love this song so much. It stays on repeat. This is my first time hearing this live acoustic. I'm in love. lol.
The progression of each verse is just awesome.
03:18 i get goosebumps
Gosh this is so beautiful! Like I get goosebumps and get teary. We need more singers like this
I don't think that I can really explain how much I love them. Their music touches me so deep. Isaac has the most beautiful voice ever and it sounds great live

Uhhh his voice guys!! It's so amazing :')
There are no words to describd my love for this special and brilliant song.

They were there to my happiness and misery and have so much to tell them. Everyone who met them is so lucky❤❤❤
This is a beautiful version.
And also beautifully shot.
This absolute acoustic and where the story ends piano version are the three greatest songs ever
I am utterly in love with this song.
They're all so incredibly talented. God, thank you for creating these perfect people. ♥

Agreed
this song was the reason god gave us ears
Das ist besser als das originale Audio. Hier hat keiner die Emotionen in seiner Stimme an die Hintergrundmusik angepasst! 😊
They cannot be better!! They are already the best at what they do!!
I've been listening to this all day long. I love it, and I love The Fray! :')
They've been my favorite band from their first album. Everytime I hear them I fall in love a little more
one of my favorite songs! i love the vibe it gives off.
I love how Isaac doesn't have to add any thing to his voice to enhance it, just pure raw talent
esta canción es grandiosa. tiene una magia, una energía, un poder inspirador. :)
My love for this band is indescribable.... I've been listening to them since I was 6 years old. Thank you for coming from Colorado. Please come back and play a show for my 16th birthday!!! :)
I JUST REALIZED THIS SONG MIGHT BE TALKING ABOUT A WEDDING, BUT FROM A GROOM'S POINT OF VIEW.
Memories oh lord 🙏 he's a fantastic artist 🎨 ❤
I love this album so much :)
these guys just make me do some deep emotional stuff i didn't know I could do or feel
I love his voice!!
What an amazing drug with no side effects.

I totally and absolutely love his voice
love this song 💜 2017😄
Sooo good! I love them! Always have, always will!
Can't get tired of this song💙
The Fray taught me how to move on.
Greenday taught me that government's gonna fail
Bruno Mars taught me to do anything for that one person I love
Eminem taught me that life is hard but you can make it through
Travis taught me to be generous
30 Seconds to Mars taught me to speak whats on my mind
Michael Jackson taught me to always love the people around me
Music taught me to live
and then Rebecca Black ruined it all
OMG This could have been written for the book Thoughtless. So amazing
I don't know why but I always cry when I listen this song :'-)
my favorite song of theirs
Love this song
I miss them so much
Essa musica dói no meu coração ;'(
